Abstract

An ultrasonic irradiation technique is used during the process of fabricating aramid fiber-epoxy resin reinforced composites to improve the interfacial adhesion performance. Under the ultrasonic treatment, the change of the resin viscosity is studied. The results of a microbond test show obvious improvement in the interfacial shear strength after ultrasonic treatment. The mechanical properties of the composites, such as the interlaminar shear strength and tensile strength, are measured. Combined with the SEM results, these show it is the mechanical properties that are improved and the fracture modes are varied from the interface between the fibers and resin to the fibrillation of fibers and resin.
